Studies conducted on the effect of different abiotic factors and bioefficacy of pesticides on yellow mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) infesting jute revealed that temperature showed a significant positive correlation with the mite population/leaf and maximum mite population was recorded during July when the temperature ranges between 27.8–29.2°C while Fenpyroximate @ 40 gm a.i./ha proved most effective in controlling the mite population.
